Hummingbird feather details with macro lens







The equipment I used was Nikon d500 + Laowa 100mm macro + 2 flashes (f 16 / ISO 200 / flashes 1/16)

I placed the camera very close to a hummingbird feeder and removed the other feeders, so with patience I photographed the hummingbirds when they approached to drink.
